Patient Stats
Patient Concerns:
Weak chin, poorly defined jaw and neck line, jowls. This patient complained that appearance has bothered her since she was a child, and that she looks just like her father.
Surgical Goal:
To enhance the dimensions of the chin in the vertical, transverse, and anterior-posterior dimensions, create a better defined neck line, and restore balance to the face, especially the lower 1/3 of the face.
Surgical Notes:
This patient had a small chin, but the occlusion (bite) was fine. The other issue affecting the definition of the neck was a moderate to moderately large fat pad with mild jowls. The skin elasticity was good, so liposuction was performed at the same time as the chin implant.
Time Since Surgery:
3 months
